Explained: Generative AI
How do powerful generative AI systems like ChatGPT work, and what makes them different from other types of artificial intelligence?
IDSS
A more effective experimental design for engineering a cell into a new state
By focusing on causal relationships in genome regulation, a new AI method could help scientists identify new immunotherapy techniques or regenerative therapies.
Supporting sustainability, digital health, and the future of work
The MIT and Accenture Convergence Initiative for Industry and Technology selects three new research projects to support.
A simpler method for learning to control a robot
Researchers develop a machine-learning technique that can efficiently learn to control a robot, leading to better performance with fewer data.
Bringing the social and ethical responsibilities of computing to the forefront
The inaugural SERC Symposium convened experts from multiple disciplines to explore the challenges and opportunities that arise with the broad applicability of computing in many aspects of society.
Celebrating the impact of IDSS
A two-day conference at MIT reflected on the impact of the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society since its launch, as founding Director Munther Dahleh prepares to step down.
A better way to study ocean currents
A new machine-learning model makes more accurate predictions about ocean currents, which could help with tracking plastic pollution and oil spills, and aid in search and rescue.
Researchers create a tool for accurately simulating complex systems
The system they developed eliminates a source of bias in simulations, leading to improved algorithms that can boost the performance of applications.
A method for designing neural networks optimally suited for certain tasks
With the right building blocks, machine-learning models can more accurately perform tasks like fraud detection or spam filtering.
